Nginx XSLT Module for REST Servers
Posted by Bhavin Turakhia
I just came across the Nginx XSLT module and had an epiphany. The module essentially accepts an HTTP request, passes it through to the backend server, receives XML from the backend server, and converts the XML to HTML by applying XSLT transforms as per XSLT stylesheets available.
So now one can essentially focus solely on a REST-XML-HTTP API when building out an application, and expose the same as an API as well as a web app by simply creating XSLT files that transform the XML into HTML. Kickass!!!

Do you know what xslt impl Nginx is using?
@kjetil: not aware of it … but nothing that you cant find out from taking a look at the code
